You can't keep a good character down so why make killing them off the end of the road?

I like on Yesterday's Enterprise, Guinan tells Picard "you gotta let Tasha go back, don't be a jerk." Then, in Reunification when Sela makes contact, Guinan says to Picard "this is all your fault, you sent Tasha back in time." Poor guy just can't get a break.

Worf _also_ died in “Transfigurations”, only to be healed seconds later by “John Doe”.
Harry Kim had a Resurrection experience in “Emanations” a whole year before “Deadlock”. Dr. McCoy also died & was resurrected in “Shore Leave”.

You missed Janeway in Coda, and then the entire Voyager crew in Relativity.
Wouldn’t the next gen episode Cause and Effect fit on this list? Technically, the Enterprise blows up and kills everyone on board for a few seconds before the time loop kicks in.
You forgot the episode in TNG, where Picard is shot in the chest and dies on the table when his artificial heart stopped.

Ensign Lyndsay Ballard in Star Trek Voyager episode 6e18 “Ashes to Ashes” After her body is jettisoned into space, a race known as the Kobali reanimated her and renamed her Jhet’leya.
Why is Seska on this list? She didn’t come back from the dead. 🙄
The caption said "Ki Alpaca" the first time. When I rewound to see it again, it said "Kai Opaca". I laughed more than I want to admit.
Worf also kicks the bucket in TNG's Season 3 Transfigurations and is resurrected by the guy who's slowly evolving into his species next form.
It’s not perfectly clear that he actually dies, but I’m pretty surprised McCoy getting lanced in Shore leave isn’t on the list. Makes for an interesting thought when paired with that scene mentioned from ST IV
Harry Kim also died in Emanations (S01E09) when he has to go into the death chamber that transports him back to the "cemetary" planet covered in cocoon and the crew can revive him.
You also forgot about Wilson Cruz's character in Discovery (Dr Hugh Culbver) but manages to come back.
To clarify, Alice Krige returned for the final Voyager episode, Endgame. I know that was implied, but I felt it needed pointing out.

I guess it's intentional - to avoid full spoilers in a way, perhaps? Like they alluded to it, showing his picture and him alive, so maybe they didn't want to just straight up say it when the episode is only very recently out.
If you want to see what happened to Kirk after Generations, may I suggest a book from William Shatner called The Return
Denise Crosby is a class act. I was once working at an event which had an actor from Stargate listed as the headline personality/speaker, (the only acting personality, probably the least known, most background character, you might recognize and whose name I won't mention,) and he dropped out at almost literally the last minute. Somehow someone was able to reach Denise Crosby and she came in, and I never saw her with the fans, but I did see her, and her beautiful smile, behind the scenes and she was so nice, friendly and warm to everyone it was marvelous. And yeah, I too hated That death on Enterprise. As always thank you so very much for the video.

Just like to point out, there is a book, called The Return, written by Shatner (I've got a copy), where a Romulan, after making an alliance with the Borg, brings kirk back after the fight with Soran, and tries to use him against Starfleet. Also, STO addresses the lose ends around Kai Opaca and the first Harry kim (who gets found by the species that are basically trek's answer to Necromorphs)

I think it's implied that the scene with Trip alive was actually an event with chef/Riker that happened before he died, and they decided to show it in that order. Not that in the actual trek timeline he was resurrected. So I think it's not worth even mentioning on this list.

I agree wholeheartedly that "These Are the Voyages" has MYRIAD problems. My recommendation? Read the novel The Good that Men Do. The novel does the best possible job that anyone could do at fixing that horrible episode without just discarding it entirely, and it is and shall remain my own head canon unless or until something definitively makes it impossible.
15:48 That's straight up a D'deridex class warp nacelle in Bashir's hands.
personally I hope Q turns Picard back into a human in season 2. That whole exposition about his consciousness being uploaded, but still having the same lifespan that he would have had before (like Patrick Stewart no doubt) felt completely unnecessary. I didn't want Picard to die, but it felt like a cop out.

btw theres also a Mission in Star trek online where you have Harry Kim from the episode as a transforming into an Kobali the mission for opaka is in gamma quadrant arc amristice the harry kim 1 is in the delta quadrant arc dust to dust
Didn't the two Voyagers have the exact same experiences until the episode Deadlock? So it's the same Harry and Naomi for all intents and purposes. I don't want to think about what they did with the other Naomi's remains but I'm pretty certain Neelix served her up for breakfast at some point.

The Borg Queen that appeared in Voyager was not the same Borg Queen that died in First Contact, so that does not count. The were not the same Borg Queen, so it does not count.
It *is* the same Harry Kim that was on Deep Space 9. The duplication only happens in the episode itself, so everything before that is just as rightfully his true timeline as it is the other Voyager's.
Technically, the entire Enterprise D crew multiple times in 'Cause & Effect'.
The one with Harry Kim and Naomi Wildman, in my opinion, that episode should never have been made. It's a very sad and tragic one, and it doesn't help that you're just a duplicate. Especially for Naomi and her Mom. That's too sad.
Dennis I meet her this year and I think that she did wish she stayed on. I wish she never left either.
Seven died multiple times in 'Relativity'?
Good 👍
We didn't get Sisko when he was killed and then stuck in subspace and Jake spent his whole life trying to get him out.
I never liked the Borg Queen. She was nothing more than Cenobite in Space to me. Plus her existence provided a highly exploitable weakness that crippled how scary the Borg were. As for sexy? She looked like a rotting corpse. Agree about Jeffrey Combs needing to be in all Star Treks.
maybe they could do a crossover with The Princess Bride universe, and you could include their Wesley ... "only MOSTLY dead." and Wouldn't the Borg Queen "naturally" be replaced with another Borg Queen 'replicant'? (I know that's not the word they use, but ... it makes sense, yeah?) ... even if she's 'replaced' by a cyborg that's given a memory-wipe (kinda like that queen in the DOCTOR WHO episode) and "Umm, Actually ..." Harry Kim is not "sucked" into space, he's "expelled" (a science-fact I actually learned from one of Data's smarty-pants quips)
